Electrical Safety: Here's the hard cell for employers.

Most accidents and fires in business premises are started by either a fault in the building’s electrical equipment or the fixed wiring system. The effects can be devastating. Negligence could result in fire, electrocution, injuries and death.

You could suffer lost income, fines and may even have your insurance invalidated. As the employer, it’s your responsibility to ensure that all electrical equipment and systems are safe. This embraces portable equipment (such as toasters), fixed appliances (like hand dryers) and the building’s fixed wiring (which needs retesting every 5 years). Ignore the issue and you’re putting your workforce at risk as well as your premises.

Timely inspection and testing of electrical systems by Arthur McKay will help to ensure compliance with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and the Fixed Wiring BS7671 IEE Wiring Regulatory Standards.
